#1. Make friends! When you visit a friend’s restaurant for the first time you’ll earn an even 1,000 coins. Convince your friends to open a hotel. If you need more hotel neighbors, you can find like-minded folks on the Hotel City fan page here. Neighbors you have not visited will have a pink NEW! label above their picture.

#2. Don’t pass up bags of coins. The next time you log in to Hotel City, take a look at your neighboring friends at the bottom of the screen. Some friends will have a coin above their picture which denotes that there’s a bag of money waiting for you in their lobby. Visit the hotel, click on the bag, and you’ll typically get between 400 and 500 coins.

#3. Poke your guests. You might think that waking up your paying customers is a bad idea, but poke away. Some guests will reward you for a rude awakening with a coin bonus. This is true for guests in your friends’ hotels as well as your own.
